Imagery psychother apy, counseling technique which deals with professionally image to
recover mental health, has been used as a therapeutic intervention from the Gr eece er a.
Nowadays , it is us ed variously in many ar eas of psychotherapy . Among various imagery
techniques , what to select is concerned with the therapy goal and needs of client . Because
term about imagery in literature is used with various terms , when we begin to study on
imagery, it is important to determine the operational definition.
From literatur e review , Simonton ’ s t echnique is applicat ed more often than Leuner ’ s
technique in our country and America.
With the Simonton ’ s technique, we can help the client to cope with the chronic disease,
with the Leuner ’ s technique, we can help the client to have the insight and personality
change.
T her efore imagery psychotherapy will be helpful in the performance of wholistic care in
various ar eas . Especially , when we applicate it to the relapse prevention program of
alcoholics , I consider it worthwhile to enhance the sens e of control.
